ARTIST’S SELF-PORTRAITS 4/4
Today, self-portraiture has evolved alongside technology, expanding from traditional oil paintings into photography, digital media, and performance art. Artists like Cindy Sherman have used self-portraiture to question identity itself, photographing herself in various disguises to critique societal stereotypes and the male gaze. In the modern era of the smartphone, the ubiquitous “selfie” continues this long tradition, proving that the human desire to document, control, and share one’s own image remains a fundamental part of visual culture.
